miami canes 77

Las Vegas - Gonna take a look at Miami-Florida +9.5 points over Pittsburgh. We have seen mostly 9.5, but there are a few 10s out there if you shop carefully. Of course you can buy the hook up to +10 as well. Like the Hurricanes for a couple of reasons, not just because Pitt had a GINORMOUS win last week against Clemson. But letdown IS certainly one of the reasons. Took a look at Miami's recent work, and while the 'Canes have won just one of the last three, they have been VERY competitive in the ACC. They lost to Virginia 30-28, lost to North Carolina 45-42 and then beat NC State last week, 31-30. Everyone thought that losing D'Eriq King would be fatal for Miami, but redshirt freshman Tyler Van Dyke has been an eye-opener. And if his last outing is any indication, 25 of 33 for 325 yards with FOUR TDs and NO INTs, then we gotta send out a buy on the Hurricanes.

If you're looking for a pick tonight on game four of the World Series, you ain't gonna find it here. Neither team has named its starters, and we could be looking at a bullpen game, so gotta take a pass. Actually got word that Houston just named Zack Greinke as the starter but Atlanta is still undecided. So, it's STILL a hard pass.
